Acharya Prashant addresses the issue of repeated failures by reframing the question. He states that dealing with repeated failures is not the core problem; rather, the more important question is, "What are you failing at?" He emphasizes that one must also ask, "What are you succeeding at?" People often use incomplete descriptions like "I am a failure" or "I am successful" without specifying the context, typically because they adopt socially accepted definitions of success and failure without deep introspection. The speaker's central advice is to do what is worth doing. When engaged in a worthwhile task, both success and failure lose their significance. The focus shifts to the act of doing itself, and one should be grateful for the opportunity to engage in such work. He explains that outcomes like success and failure depend on a multitude of internal and external factors, many of which are beyond one's control, as the world is an open-ended system with countless interdependent variables that cannot be made deterministic. The only thing one has authority over is their own self. This self must choose its work by recognizing its own incompleteness and the need to become restful and complete. The right work is not something that makes you feel comfortable as you are, but rather work that challenges your insecurities and weaknesses. It is the work that "chisels you down" and reduces the false, borrowed sense of self. The speaker explains that what we additionally carry is a false sense of incompleteness. Therefore, the right definition of work is not an activity to inflate the ego or for monetary gain, but an engagement to challenge, reduce, and "ground yourself to dust." For young people choosing a career, he advises them to identify what truly troubles them and let their work be the medicine for that trouble. This choice must be made individually, much like choosing a partner to love. Just as one should choose a partner who challenges them rather than pampers them, one should choose work that is difficult to handle. Such work may not bring external rewards, but it will rid the self of its weak parts, where fear resides.
